Book Description
The bee mites Varroa jacobsoni Oudemaris and Euvarroa sinhai Delfinado and Baker (Family Varroidae) are reported for the first time from Thailand. V. jacobsoni was found parasitizing colonies of Apis cerana indica F. and A. mellifera L., E. sinhai was observed in association with drones of A. florea F. The biology of both mite species was investigated. It was found that the life cycles of V. jacobsoni and E. sinhai are bionomically similar, since the larva complete its development within the egg, the first stage to appear is the protonymph. The protonymph is followed by the deutonymph, which then moults to the adult male or female. Only the female of either species was found to be phoretic on adult honey bees. All other developmental stages inhabit the inside of the bee brood cell. The systematics of the family Varroidae also is reviewed. Taxonomic descriptions of the egg, protonymph, deutonyrnph and male of E. sinhai are presented here for the first time. New data on the immature stages of V. jacobsoni also are included.

Book Description
Pollinators-insects, birds, bats, and other animals that carry pollen from the male to the female parts of flowers for plant reproduction-are an essential part of natural and agricultural ecosystems throughout North America. For example, most fruit, vegetable, and seed crops and some crops that provide fiber, drugs, and fuel depend on animals for pollination. This report provides evidence for the decline of some pollinator species in North America, including America's most important managed pollinator, the honey bee, as well as some butterflies, bats, and hummingbirds. For most managed and wild pollinator species, however, population trends have not been assessed because populations have not been monitored over time. In addition, for wild species with demonstrated declines, it is often difficult to determine the causes or consequences of their decline. This report outlines priorities for research and monitoring that are needed to improve information on the status of pollinators and establishes a framework for conservation and restoration of pollinator species and communities.

Book Description
Varroa is without doubt the number one enemy of beekeepers. The authors take stock of the current situation and then, through this well-illustrated practical manual, apply their experience as acarologists and beekeepers to producing a very practical guide.
